Also, do the spatial orientation questions just loop until the timer is done? I started out answering one every ten seconds or so, taking my time, but they kept coming as the timer was ticking down and I started answering one every couple seconds (very confident on these, they came more naturally than the rest) and I must have answered at least 35 of them in the 2 or 3 minutes they allotted.

Felt really good about the dog test- actually, had several friends who tipped me off to what they did to pass. Comparing stats with the ones who passed, I did just as good, if not better, than them on the cog stuff. This makes me believe it all came down to the personality test.
I answered truthfully, keeping in mind to not come across as a psychopath (e.g. I’ll admit I occasionally get angry, but I’m not gonna STRONGLY agree that I’m an angry person)…. I don’t know know, maybe I’m not conceited enough to pass??? 😵💫
So, who out there got the notice yesterday that they passed?
FYI, seems like the results get released at least every Monday, for those who’ve taken the assessment and waiting to hear back.

Well, assessment done last Monday, interview invite email yesterday. Called in today and scheduled the interview for Jan 20th (that was their earliest available).
Any latest and greatest tips on prepping for it would be very welcome!
Best of luck to everyone still waiting to hear!

Emerald Coast. I did one webinar audit and a top off phone call and felt well prepared on interview day. Highly recommended

I did Emerald Coast as well and recommend them.
However, most of the actual prep was brainstorming all the “flying stories”, categorizing them for ‘plug and play’ and retelling them to myself while driving.
Don’t over-prep or you will sound fake. Prep enough to be eloquent and confident.

My take is the COG games are there to frustrate and the personality portion is the pass/fail. After 5 days of mastering the games via CUT-E I admittedly did mediocre on the actual assessment games. My strategy for the personality portion was to stay relatively neutral (maybe one full agree) and lean towards being an empathetic team player (it’s not all about you!). It got me to the interview.

This is solid advice. Don't sound canned. Be yourself, be confident. They really just want to get to know you, and will tailor the interview to your specific background.

I failed the cog as well.
I got up and took a walk around the house between each section to clear my head. I wonder if that is something they see on camera, and could affect the outcome? I also went through each one of the "write down a clearance" recordings three times, which was the limit. I wonder if they take that into account as well, i.e. you get scored higher if you only listen to it once? I know for sure that I did awful on the "flying through the tunnel" exercise because the interface was very different than the CUT-E practice test I had signed up for. In retrospect I should have paid for the RST package. I felt I did well on everything else though, but who knows with the personality test.
How common is it to get called back in 6 months after failing the cog?

Don’t beat yourself up over RST vs CUT-E. I thought the CUT-E practice was just as useful as RST. The cog test is new so I’m not sure anyone has been around long enough to test the 6 month or 12 month reapply. Only 1 way to find out!
